Do they really have to create new laws? Who cares if teachers are assaulted? Maybe people tune in to a murder trial or in the 7-day window after a day like October 15, 2026 in Bend, Oregon.
I recognize that students get hurt by teachers also. Prevention is important no matter who the target is or the age of the perpetrator. Children get caught in the crossfire or attack. Violence in a school creates collateral damage which does not discriminate.
1) Uptick: This is from 2024 in Philadelphia. Notice the teacher is not a small, blonde woman.

5) Safety holds/Restraints: Training in Philadelphia Video date of September 9, 2025. Violating the rights of students? Restraint or death by gunfire?

6) SC law protecting teachers from violent fights. See also my post on Teacher's Have a Say.
Why is this law relateable? Did you read my book?

7) One of my former principals, S.S., would agree with this man. Just please, do not get careless. STRESS at school? Really? If you do not think stress is a warning sign, wake up. This is from 2018. It is timeless.
Veteran Teacher: I did a lot of the extra stuff.

8) Did your child skip Kindergarten?

Phone number? This is not about assaults exactly. Did it make you cry, though? See Everything I Learned, I Learned in Kindergarten or any tip on parenting! He is snarky.
I just found a few videos for this post. Shorts and Tik Tok videos abound. There are studies too. Go fish!
How many injured or dead teachers work for you? Ah, they are not working anymore. So, re-phrased, How many injured or dead staff are acceptable?
As usual, asking for a friend who can no longer tell you her story or complain on Tik Tok. Her death was by junior high kids who pulled a fire drill.
Scarlet asks: Do you give a damn? I do know if you have taken the time to read this post, you do care!
YT podcasters love you to share. I would love for you to share my blog or book. Documentation is key and I did not complain on any video. Did the internet exist in 1998? Gore was the VP.
